| Description of the problem | I own two jeeps, one a 2007 wrangler unlimited and the other 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited. I have had to replace two clock springs in the 2007 wrangler and recently the second replaced clock spring in the 2008 wrangler went out. This is a total of 4 clock spring failures in two jeeps. I had received an extended warranty on the 2007 wrangler and was reimbursed. But not the 2008 wrangler. Chrysler did give me a partial reimbursement on the first clock spring that failed in the 2008. On this second one, they are saying they will offer me another reimbursement but again only partial. They will not pay for the diagnostic to confirm it was the clock spring. Being that i am now on my 4th clock spring in two jeeps i don't think i should have to pay for another clock spring and go through the pain of another reimbursement. This should be a recall. Currently my airbags are not working while i fight this issue. |
